NANJING INTERNATIONAL YOUTH CULTUTRAL CHNTER

摘要

Built for the 2014 Youth Olympic Games held in Nanjing, China, from Aug. 16 to 28, the Nanjing International Youth Cultural Center is statement architecture for a city experiencing significant growth. The six-story center, designed by London-based Zaha Hadid Architects, combines multipurpose conference rooms with a 505-seat concert hall, a 2,181-seat convention hall, banquet facilities, and support areas. These functions are contained within a series of curvaceous forms representative of a signature style employed by the design firm that is engaging architecturally, but challenging in terms of uniformity of light distribution.
